OpenAI claims its AI model solved the Navier-Stokes equations
OpenAI announced last week that its artificial intelligence system proved a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem.
The mathematical breakthrough details
The model demonstrated that specific fluid flow scenarios produce singularities. These singularities predict physically impossible infinite speeds for gases or liquids. The proof applies to situations where a vortex stretches out and becomes very long and thin.
Expert analysis on the finding
George Karniadakis at Brown University calculated that air reaches this singularity when the vortex is around 70 nanometres wide. This calculation provides a specific scale for the phenomenon described by the AI solution.
